I want to personally thank him for his support not only for gay marriage in the state on New York but also supporting the United American families act! He took time to sit down study the issue and wrote an awesome letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and to Senator Charles Schumer supporting our bill.
Thank you again Robert K. Sweeney!

Recently Immigration Equality posted this statement on their BLOG when referring to Immigration reform: “The Senate immigration reform bill will be followed by a House bill, too. In-between, there will be countless steps, challenges and opportunities that must be addressed. As we have seen in the current healthcare debate, legislation does not move easily, or without hard work. Immigration reform will be similar: It is imperative that we build grassroots support for our families, Congressional support for UAFA and broad public support for fair immigration policies.”
So just in case we become the public option of immigration reform, I believe that this makes the argument for a stop gap measure to help keep our families together in the USA. We want a SPECIAL VISA.
